Pedros, what you are suggesting would amount to the EPO basing their practice on hypothetical scenarios that have not (and may well never) come to pass. It would also suggest that the EPO perceives that it has a [01:20] schestowitz[TR2] role to play in policing the extent of protection that patentees can attempt to claim before courts of the EPC Member States.
In other words, what you are
[11:10] schestowitz[TR2][11:10] schestowitz[TR2]The Trail of Bits cryptography team is releasing our open-source pure Go implementations of ML-DSA (FIPS-204) and SLH-DSA (FIPS-205), two NIST-standardized post-quantum signature algorithms. These implementations have been engineered and reviewed by several of our cryptographers, so if you or your organization is looking to transition to post-quantum support for digital signatures, [11:10] schestowitz[TR2] try them out!
[11:10] schestowitz[TR2]This post will detail some of the work we did to ensure the implementations are constant time. These tricks specifically apply to the ML-DSA (FIPS-204) algorithm, protecting from attacks like KyberSlash, but they also apply to any cryptographic algorithm that requires branching or division.

[11:15] schestowitz[TR2][11:15] schestowitz[TR2]In the recently published blog post titled About KeePassXCs Code Quality Control, the team stresses that AI assists developers during the review and drafting process, but no AI-generated code is merged into the KeePassXC codebase. The application itself remains fully human-written and continues to follow the rigorous security standards that its users expect.

[11:38] schestowitz[TR2][11:38] schestowitz[TR2]Several foundational components receive significant updates in this release. Baloo, KDEs file indexing subsystem, improves reliability during session management, updates its test infrastructure, and now avoids indexing excessively large mbox files. It also ensures configuration changes in balooctl are written before indexing is toggled, addressing long-standing user-reported iss [11:38] schestowitz[TR2] ues.
